Corporate writer turned college essay pro.
Capturing voice and telling stories is my specialty.
As a longtime speechwriter and corporate communicator, I’ve been entrusted as the storyteller for the highest levels of leadership at some of the world’s biggest companies. Now I’m sharing my skills with you.
I’ve always been fascinated by the college admissions process, starting with my own, which earned me a spot at my beloved alma mater, Duke University. During my decades-long writing career, I served as an alumni interviewer, before I combined my two passions into helping the next generation with essays.
I relish working with students on one of the most important — and stressful — pieces of writing they’ve ever undertaken. It needs to be honest, authentic, compelling and well-written. But even better than the final product is the process, where I teach them expert writing lessons they’ll take to college and beyond.
My holistic approach includes:
Brainstorming topics
Review and thoughtful suggestions — as many times as it takes
Proofreading
Trusted guidance throughout
A finished product to be proud of
Consider me your essay maven.
My CV
I’ve helped students with essays for everything from undergraduate to law school — many of whom are repeat clients.
Plus, I’ve had communications leadership roles in multinational organizations including Merck and Google. That means I know good writing — and how to tell a story that matters.
